The R&D Department, which functions during the product design stage, is a key starting point in product creation. Creation of safe and reliable products depends on selection of raw materials of assured quality, determination of blending ratios, and implementation of processes to ensure product safety.

Nikken carefully ensures product quality at the raw material stage through a variety of checks on both cultivation and raw material processing controls in place at our suppliers' facilities, including subcontracted factories. We also engage in quality verification through acceptance inspections when necessary.

Nikken has established a safety and quality control system, with process control based on international standards (ISO22000 and FSSC22000).

Safety is based on analytical technology. Nikken maintains equipment for food evaluation and functional component analysis and guarantees quality through accurate testing and analysis.

Our centralized management system enables product and raw material inventory management as well as individual tracking confirmation.

Ongoing delivery of safe and reliable quality allows us to build a relationship of trust with our customers. Listening to customer feedback facilitates creation of further improved products.
